Greene letters


Craving more Graham Greene? A new book due out this month might satisfy. The Times Online offers a sampling of the material. The work is Articles of Faith: The collected Tablet journalism of Graham Greene, and includes many letters written to and by Greene.

It ought to be a matter of concern to both historians and literary aficionados that the practice of letter writing has declined so greatly. What correspondence will remain? I cannot believe emails will become the record of our age when the time to look back arrives.
